The Star Of Bethlehem.
from the 50. Lotlis Globe Denlocrnt,

FROM Tue Jt. LOUIS GLOOe-DeHbOCTuC.
ST. JOSEPH, NO., June 12-Astronomers
have to thank Mr. Klein for the amusement
he has afforded them
The smoked glasses and mirror attach
ment which have shown him Cassiopeia in
the daytime, though at night he cannot find
either the constellation or his marvellous
star, would be useful improvements. He
should patent them. Hitherto astronomers,
idiotic old fogies thot they are, have sup
posed smoked glasses chiefly useful in
diminishing light, not in making faint OBJ
jects visible
1t may interest Mr.. Klein and others
ignorant of elementary matters in astron-
omy to learn that Cassiopeia is neUer "be-
low the horizon, and consequently invisible
from our latitude"-our latitude meaning
any latitude in Kentucky. Cassiopeia at
midnight, at this season, is as high above
the horizon as at in the afternoon. The
constellation may be invisible at midnight
through smoked glasses or with the mirror
attachment in which the Hartford observer
reJoices. Smoked glasses and mirror at
tachments are indeed not greatly esteemed
by astronomers as aids in observing stars.
But assuredly every star down to the seventh
magnitude can be seen in Cassiopeia now at
midnight, and Mr. Klein's Star of Bethle-
mem is not visible among them. While he
has been smoking glasses somebody has been
smoking MIN.
But possibly this potentous new star
comes out i'll the daytime to oblige Mr..
Klein, and goes in again-perhaps even
works its way out of Cassiopeia to get below
the horizon-at night, just to vex astrono-
mers
Let me explain, however, that though IN
writing about the matter for European ana
American magazines and journals, | have
done my best to get all the fun out OF the
Kentuckian professors discovery" that hes
in it--and that is saying a good deal, for u
is the funniest thing l have yet heard OIL
have been careful not to describe it as an
essentially Kentuckian or American achieve
ment II curiqusly illustrates prevalent
ignorance about matters Recommendations
that is all. Respectfully yours,

outwitting an Interviewer.
From a Washington Letter 1877


e-President-elect Wheeler never re-
ceived any credit for being practical joker.
He hasn't tendency for such sports, but
the way he bulldozed a rural newspaper
man is worth telling. When he was return
ing from his recent visit to Governor Hayes
at Columbus the train stopped at GAINESVILLE
for dinner, but he didn't get out 1t was
soon known at the depot, however, that he
was on the train, and a crowd went into the
car to shake hands with the next Vice Presi-
dent As number of gentlemen We're
standing around him talking, pop-eyed
Young fellow pushed his way through, carry
ing an open notebook of generous size and
a pencil i'll his hand. 1t was the ''local'
of GAINESVILLE paper. He brought the
implements of his profession into position
and opened attack.
Have the honor of addressing the Hon.
William A. Wheeler.n he INQUIRED.
''Thank Won, sir, = responded Mr.. Wheeler,
''you have And whom have the honor OF
addressingn
The young man gave his name.
'You are newspaper mau, l suppose, "
suggested Mr.. Wheeler.
The young man assented.
"Have YOU been i'll the business longm
About three years"
Ever lived anywhere but in Zanesvilleln
mo"
"Do You like the professionN
The Young man said he did, and was about
to PROFOUND questionon his own part when
Mr.. Wheeler interrupted him by asking
about GAINESVILLE, its Inhabitants, products,
manufactures, cost of living, condition of
business, following up these with other ques-
tons relative to the history of the place and
its prospects; and he showed n wonderful
interest in the newspaper with which the
young man was connected, its circulation,
advertising patronage and competition.
Several times did the young man venture to
attempt ~ change the subject of converse
ton, but Mr.. Wheeler piled him with ques-
lions until tliS train moved off and the
"localn was compelled TO leave the car. Mr..
Wheeler enjoys telling how he outwitted an
interviewer But the young man had the
advantage of him. Mr.. Wheeler might
parry his questions, but he could not curb
the press. The young man printed the fol-
lowing paragraph:
Hon. William A. Wheeler, the next Vice
President, passed through GAINESVILLE on
Thursday. Our reporter had an extended
conversation with him, and found him TO
be a most agreeable gentleman. The people
Of GAINESVILLE would be fiattered TO know the
interest taken by Mr.. Wheeler in our thriv-
ing city, and it would have Inundated the
starveling who runs the - 1.-THE opposi-
ton paper to have heard the, 'compli-
mentary terms in which, he alluded TO this
journal, and his appreciation of our humble,
but well directed efforts during the recent
campaign"

the grass closely cut, and the beautiful
beds Of flowers in most perfect order. Mr..

and ground manager, has been the potent
factor In this most excellent improvement
Bay Ridge is perfectly situated. 1t Is
